As a System Integration Engineer II, I apply my skills and knowledge in model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and data analysis to support the development and integration of innovative space systems and technologies.I am a veteran and a current Naval Officer (Reserves), with over nine years of combined military service and experience in various leadership and technical roles. I am passionate about making spaceflight and space exploration more accessible and affordable through systems engineering, and I am pursuing a PhD in Space Resources at Colorado School of Mines. My long-term goal is to help make spaceflight ubiquitous and living/working off-planet feasible at scale.
